Mind on the Matter
Navigating Life's Turbulence: Mind on the Matter
Lyrics
Mama told me not to try to be nobody
Mama advised me not to pretend to be someone else
I listened to her
I heeded her advice
Mama told me I'd grow up to be somebody
Mama predicted that I would grow up to achieve something
Looka here
Expressing affirmation or agreement
Savin' money's hard when you can't save your soul
Saving money is challenging when your spiritual well-being is neglected
I'll get through it
I will overcome this difficulty
Tryin' to dig myself out of this mighty hole
Struggling to improve my situation and climb out of a significant challenge
Listen to what I say
Pay attention to my words
Got my mind on the matter
Focusing my thoughts on important matters
Sure as I tell ya
As I assure you
Now you know that's right
Affirmation of the correctness of the statement
I look down at my hands and
Reflecting on my hard work and effort
I see labor burns
Visible signs of the physical toll of labor
It's a part of livin'
Recognizing that labor is an integral part of life
Keepin' my feet on the ground while the world turns
Staying grounded amid life's changes and challenges
It's all on me
Taking responsibility for my actions and decisions
Got my mind on the matter
Returning to the theme of focusing on important matters
Sure as I tell ya
Reaffirming the accuracy of the statement
Now you know that's right
Emphasizing the correctness of the previous statement
